The reaction proceeds through a tandem Claisen rearrangement and 6-endo-trig or 6-endo-dig cyclization sequence. For prenyl ethers, the tandem sequence can be extended by a Cope rearrangement to furnish 6-prenylchromones. The method is potentially useful for the synthesis of natural products and drugs.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidtStaudeKellingetal.2011, author = {Schmidt, Bernd and Staude, Lucia and Kelling, Alexandra and Schilde, Uwe}, title = {A Cross-Metathesis-Conjugate addition route to enantiopure gamma-Butyrolactams and gamma-Lactones from a C-2-Symmetric Precursor}, series = {European journal of organic chemistry}, journal = {European journal of organic chemistry}, number = {9}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Malden}, issn = {1434-193X}, doi = {10.1002/ejoc.201001528}, pages = {1721 -- 1727}, year = {2011}, abstract = {A protected derivative of (3R, 4R)-hexa-1,5-diene-3,4-diol, a conveniently accessible C-2-symmetric building block, undergoes single or double cross metathesis with methyl acryl-ate.
